Inaugurating theUNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICEJULY 1.1971To The EditorDear Mr. Trejo,I, for one, resent the insinuations, allegations, and accusationsyou have made against Mr. Roque Guerra, We, the constituents ofhis precinct, voted for him because he was, and is, the most capa-ble and honest man for the job. I consider it a privilege to knowhim personally. During the years that I was in the band, I noticedthat Mr. Guerra always had time to help his students with whateverproblems we had. There was a tremendous student-teacher rela-tionship. Now that I know him on an adult basis, I respect ami ad-mire him even more. I know it's a long way from replacing brokenreeds and missing screws on an instrument to his present positionin a political office, but I trust him wholeheartedly to get the jobdone.I don't completely understand why you have chosen to start a per-sonal vendetta against Mr. Guerra. Heaven knows there are manypoliticians in Starr County who are crooked and are taking advan-tage of the taxpayers' money. Why don't you speak out against theseothers? Mr. Guerra has worked long and hard for this communityfor many years. He, more than anyone, deserves whatever revenueis coming to him now.It's a shame that some are jealous about the naming of WestGrammar after Mr. Guerra. You probably would have nothing butpraise if it had been named, say Pete Diaz Elementary. All thingsconsidered, it is my opinion that Mr. Guerra is well-qualified andI support his endeavors thoroughly.Sincerely,Maria Imelda Rodriguez* * * * *EDITOR'S NOTE—Blessed are those who look at the world throughrose-colored glass .... I admire your loyalty to Mr. Guerra. Notonly was he a competent band director but he was and is an exam-plary man in his personal life throughout all the years he has beenhere; and that exactly is the reason we expect more from him thanwe do from the run-of-the-mill politician the captive voters havebeen electing to office in the past few decades. The crooked politi-cians you mention will be dealt with shortly. And as far as Mr.Guerra is concerned, we still expect good things from him. I ser-iously doubt that you could call one editorial with its only objectiveto correct what we see wrong a vendetta .... but as we said be-fore blessed are those who look at the world through a rose-coloredglass . ... for they shall see nothing but pretty things and beauti-ful pecple ....
